[0030] Existing lighting systems typically consist of luminaires and a power supply for powering them. The power supply is usually installed inside the luminaire, but the size of the luminaire limits the power supply specifications, resulting in a limited range of compatible power supplies and restricting power supply selection, thus impacting the user experience.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 10As shown, in some embodiments, the photography / videography system 1 may include a lamp 11 and a power supply system 2 for supplying power to the lamp 11. The lamp 11 can be used in conjunction with a camera to provide better lighting for the camera. The power supply system 2 may include a power supply component 3 and a power source 4. The power supply component 3 can be used in conjunction with an external power source 4 and the lamp 11, and the power source 4 can supply power to the lamp 11 through the power supply component 3.

[0032] In some embodiments, the power supply component 3 may include a housing 31, a connector 32, and a docking member 33. One end of the connector 32 can be electrically connected to the lamp 11 through the housing 31, and the other end of the connector 32 can be electrically connected to the power supply 4 through the docking member 33. Thus, the electrical energy of the external power supply 4 can be transmitted to the lamp 11 through the connector 32, thereby realizing the power supply to the lamp 11.

[0033] In some embodiments, the light fixture 11 can be mounted on top of the camera to provide supplemental or ambient lighting for the shooting environment.

Thus, the electrical energy of the power supply 4 can be electrically connected to the lamp 11 after passing through the docking electrode 332, the step-down plate 313 and the connecting electrode 312 in sequence, thereby using the step-down plate 313 to stabilize the voltage of the circuit.

[0045] In some embodiments, a connector 314 may be provided inside the housing body 311. A connector slot 3141 may be provided on the connector 314. Multiple connector slots 3141 may be provided.

Therefore, the connector slot 3141 can improve the stability of the connection between the connecting electrode 312 and the lamp 11.

[0046] In some embodiments, the step-down plate 313 can be fixed to the base 3112. A plug-in socket 314 can be disposed on the side wall of the step-down plate 313 near the cover 3113. The cover 3113 can be provided with a recessed groove 3115, which can be arranged opposite to the plug-in socket 314. When the cover 3113 is placed on the base 3112, the plug-in socket 314 can extend into and be limited within the recessed groove 3115. One side of the recessed groove 3115 can communicate with the second opening 3111, allowing the input connector of the lamp 11 to be inserted into the plug-in groove 3141 through the second opening 3111, thereby achieving a stable connection between the connecting electrode 312 and the lamp 11.

[0047] In some embodiments, the step-down plate 313 may have a through hole. The base 3112 may have a mounting post 3116. The mounting post 3116 may have a mounting hole. The step-down plate 313 may be supported on the mounting post 3116. The through hole may be arranged opposite to the mounting hole.

A connection interface 412 is provided on the side wall of the handle 41. The batteries 42 can be electrically connected to the docking electrode 332 via the connection interface 412. Thus, the electrical energy within the batteries 42 can be transmitted to the lamp 11 via the docking electrode 332, the connector 32, and the connecting electrode 312.

[0049] In some embodiments, the power supply 4 may further include an output connector. The output connector is electrically connected to the battery 42. The output connector may be located at the interface 412. The output connector is electrically connected to the docking electrode 332, thereby allowing electrical energy in the battery 42 to be transmitted to the lamp 11 via the output connector, docking electrode 332, connector 32, and connecting electrode 312.

[0050] In some embodiments, the handle 41 may be elongated. The handle 41 may be located on one side of the lamp 11. The handle 41 may be used to support the lamp 11.

[0051] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, a protrusion 1111 may be provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove 111. The protrusion 1111 may be elongated. The extending direction of the protrusion 1111 may be the same as the mounting direction of the box body 311 relative to the lamp 11. A sliding groove 3117 is recessed on the side wall of the box body 311. The extending direction of the sliding groove 3117 is the same as the mounting direction of the box body 311 relative to the lamp 11. Thus, when the box body 311 extends into the mounting groove 111, the sliding groove 3117 can slide in cooperation with the protrusion 1111, thereby providing a guiding effect for the installation of the box body 311 through the sliding groove 3117 and the protrusion 1111, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the box body 311.
